Unfortunately, the saddest things can happen to the most adorable animals. Despite that, a lot of these animals are saved by the unlikeliest of heroes. Sometimes they’re good-hearted humans, and other times they’re other animals who take these injured or orphaned babies under their wings.
We were so relieved to find out that these 10 orphaned puppies are being cared for — and we were surprised and happy to see a mama cat take care of an orphaned baby squirrel, and even teach him how to purr!
So when we heard that this baby possum lost her mother, we were absolutely heartbroken, despite the fact that she is being taken care of by the capable doctors at the Taronga Wildlife Hospital in Australia.
But the 4-month-old possum found a surrogate mother: a plush toy kangaroo! The toy may not be a real mother for the baby possum, but we’re glad to see that she is in good hands and found something to cuddle with.
The animal hospital says that this little cutie is still in recovery for suffering from dehydration from when she was abandoned, but will eventually be released back into the wild.
We’re so happy that this possum will find her happy ending!
